As Christian homeschoolers our goal must be bigger and broader than turning out kids with exceptional talent and high SAT scores. By incorporating worldview training, we can better equip them to use their gifts to impact the world for Christ, help others by solving real problems and bring glory to God in the process. In this session, Zan provides practical answers to the what, why and how of teaching your children a biblical worldview.

What constitutes a meaningful preschool education that prepares a child for a life of learning and significance? In this workshop, we will discuss learning theories as well as practical skills you can teach your children. We will also cover how to develop a love for books in even your most active little ones. Join Zan as she addresses four vital components of a superb preschool education—and be encouraged that home is indeed the ultimate preschool!

Threatened with jail for homeschooling in 1984, Zan was forced to count the cost and decide if it was worth it. She learned powerful lessons about freedom, family, and faith that remain pertinent today. At a crossroads where liberties we often take for granted are at stake, we must work to preserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, while raising up a new generation of freedom fighters. This session will encourage and equip you with powerful principles to share with your children.

Experiencing many joys and triumphs, and weathering many storms, Zan and Joe have thoroughly enjoyed 40 years of marriage. In this refreshing session of laughter and encouragement, they candidly share the ups and downs of married life (including their biggest fight ever), while focusing on the biblical principles that have served as the unshakeable foundation of their marriage. Understanding and embracing the magnificent biblical vision of marriage is the key to a vibrant relationship.

We do our best to follow God and love our families, yet we may still find ourselves in the “fiery furnace,” ready to throw in the towel. Explore causes of burnout and learn ways to avoid them, including practical tips for streamlining your life. Zan will encourage a biblical vision for what you are ultimately trying to accomplish in your children’s lives through homeschooling—a vision that sustains through hard times and difficult days.

In this session we will discuss six traits of servant leaders and what it takes to fill the leadership gap. Zan and Joe will talk specifically about family life and homeschool leadership so that we do not alienate our spouses or our children as we work to encourage other homeschool families. You’ll learn ways to effectively incorporate your children so your leadership becomes a mission that unites the family.
